Immediately after the assembling of the Democratie State Convention this morning the committee on Platform reported the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted : The Democracy of Missouri in Convention assembled, looking only to living issues and cordially Inviting the co-operation of every friend of constitutional liberty, regardless of pastor present party associations, do, in view of the condition of the State and Nation, proclaim and resolve as follows : 1. That we hall with unbounded satisfac tion the nomination of Horatio Seymour and Frank P. Blair, for President and Vice Presi dent of the United States, upon a platform of principles, bold, earnest, sound and truthful, that with a fixed purpose and unconquerable zeal we will labor In this canvass to the end that our country may be redeemed, regenerated and disenthralled. 2. While we are willing to protect the col ored race from every assault upon their natural rights, we are unalterably opposed to negro suffrage and negro equality,, its logical sequence, the proposition now pending in this State to admit to the elective franchise the Africans, while thousands of industrious and law-abiding white men are excluded from the ballot-box, is a gross insult to our race and a ghastly mockery of the commonest principles of Justice. 3. That the declaration of the Missouri Radicals, In their platform, that they cherish no revengeful leelings toward those who fought in fair and open battle, though for an unjust cause, and stand ready to restore to them their political privileges at the earliest moment consistent with State and National safety, Is a transparent falsehood, in view of the fact that, though the reasoning of the Supreme Court of the United States, In Its adjudication of cases, proves the Missouri test oath unconstitutional, null and void, this party of proscription still require the oath to be administered, and are, at the present moment, reorganizing their political machinery through the infamous registration law to give strained and unwarranted interpretations of that oath. 4. We challenge the world to produce in the whole history of tyranny a parallel to the lawless violence, the harsh oppression, the grinding inexorable despotism ot the Radical party in Missouri In Its dealings with the people. The rule of that party has brought utter demoralization into almost every branch of the public service through its officials and honored representatives. It has robbed the State of millions of money, lavished countless thousands upon party favorites, and squandered thousands more In useless and extravagant expenditures. Murderers and thieves are eulogized as quiet citizens and Christian gentlemen; destroyers of a free press and disturbers of peaceful communities are held up for applause and public honors. The plunderers of the treasury are un- Impeachcd and unlndicted, and the perpetrators of matchless villainies are welcomed as proper members ot Radical legislatures, Rad ical caucuses and Kadical conventions. That we enunciate as a loyal proposl PACIFIC COAST. New York, Aug, 6 A special from San Francisco states that the U. S. ship Onward had arrived with advices from from Yokohama, Japan dated July 4th.

Whilst we demand a fair and Impartial regis tration of all qualified voters under the law, we condemn and discountenance any lm proper Interference with, cr attempts to, In tlmldate tho registration olllccrs in She proper discharge of their official duties; that unuorting and obeying all laws regularly enacted, the Democracy are the party of law and order, and their accession to power will give peace and tranquillity to this distracted land. 6. The condition of o-jr State, no less than the true principles of political official action, demands irugauty ana economy, the coutrac. tlon of expenditures, the lessening of tax ailon, and in short, the forming of a right policy ol retreuenment and reform.

We expressed last week our Ignorance as- to the peculiar fitness of Mr. Thomas for Congressman. The Springfield Transcript undertook to. enlighten us respecting its noiniuee, and succeeded to the extent of quoting our remarks about him, thereby evidencing good taste at least. We therefore conclude that our estimate of Mr. Thomas was a correct one even from a high Democratic standpoint. John H. Thomas is un doubtedly an unalloyed and unadulterated) copperhead, and we must take his past record In order to lorm a true estimate of the man . whom the Democracy are endeavoring to se duce the loyal beventh District Intosupporting. if there is anything more despicable than, anything else, It is a smothered, subdued cop perhead, uv. tne sice ot such a man we esteem Vallandighara worthy of all praise. We detest a man who endeavors to prop up his Infamous record and principles by high. social position and eminent respectability one who lends the weight of his social in fluence to the cause of rebellion and stabs our soldiers In the back with a velvet handled stiletto. We have comparative respect for your ranting, roaring demagogue, your energetic and acknowledged partisan, but your slimy and sleek disclaimer of all partisan motives, your meek and gentle assumer of the whole vantage ground or truth in the cause of falsehood, we loathe utterly. At the same , time we do not fear the influence of such a character. Mr. Thomas Is a genuine Uriah Heep. He has agreed to leave his "works" and embark In political life solely for the good of the people, and Is endeavoring to cover over the deformity of his record by the exercise of the most dangerous, because the most humble, demagoglsm. The friends of Mr. Thomas openly vaunt of his ability to furnish, not character and ex perience, but money. The peculiar qualifica tions of Mr. Thomas as a candidate are con fessed to be his willingness to furnish the sinews of war. This Is his strongest hold.' His availability Is his only recommendation. To begin with It Is expected that he will control the votes of the large number of his employees. With his greenback delusion he hopes to institute a working man's move ment, lint with all the adroitness and zeal with which the campaign has been Initiated by the Democrats, there aro Indications that the Republican majority will be largely in creased. The Cincinnati Enquirer has a reputation for being a staunch Democratic print, and the organ of Mr. Pendleton. The following expression of opinion concerning Frank Blair Is therefor particularly Interesting : "It was because a set of demagogues, to subserve their own ambitious purposes, made tne peopie oi tne iree states believe that African slavery In the Southern States was a great moral, social and political evil, and should not be allowed to extend Into new territory. That was about tho wbolo of it. It was tho negro, and ambitious damngogues riding on his back Into power. Rather than they should not do so tlte veonle allowed t)u. gramkst Government in th4world to be destroy- eu, una ciuh war to aesoiate me tana; ana frank 1 Blair wa one of those Veuuigogues." i ne met mat the above was written In 1801 makes uol a whit of difference. OP COUrSQ PVirv liit.pllliri.nfr. nm-unn nn thin I hemisphere knows that Boston possesses a great orgau; out tew can realize Its Immense size, or great capacity tT attract dust until tney read the following from the Boston Journal of Saturday : "Persons who are sometimes annoyed by dust upon the great organ at tho Music Hall, aro probably not aware that It takes six or seven men nearly a week, and Involves an expense of upward of flOO, to give tho Instrument a single thorough dusting. The operation has been gone through with this week." Thb World Bays that the standing order of tho Democracy during tho coming cam-palgu must be "attack, attack, attack."' This Is tho converse of the order during the war campaign, when It was "retreat, 'retreat, he. treat." Chicago Post.

We expressed last week our Ignorance as- to the peculiar fitness of Mr. Thomas for Congressman. The Springfield Transcript undertook to. enlighten us respecting its noiniuee, and succeeded to the extent of quoting our remarks about him, thereby evidencing good taste at least. We therefore conclude that our estimate of Mr. Thomas was a correct one even from a high Democratic standpoint. John H. Thomas is un doubtedly an unalloyed and unadulterated) copperhead, and we must take his past record In order to lorm a true estimate of the man . whom the Democracy are endeavoring to se duce the loyal beventh District Intosupporting. if there is anything more despicable than, anything else, It is a smothered, subdued cop perhead, uv. tne sice ot such a man we esteem Vallandighara worthy of all praise. We detest a man who endeavors to prop up his Infamous record and principles by high. social position and eminent respectability one who lends the weight of his social in fluence to the cause of rebellion and stabs our soldiers In the back with a velvet handled stiletto. We have comparative respect for your ranting, roaring demagogue, your energetic and acknowledged partisan, but your slimy and sleek disclaimer of all partisan motives, your meek and gentle assumer of the whole vantage ground or truth in the cause of falsehood, we loathe utterly. At the same , time we do not fear the influence of such a character. Mr. Thomas Is a genuine Uriah Heep. He has agreed to leave his "works" and embark In political life solely for the good of the people, and Is endeavoring to cover over the deformity of his record by the exercise of the most dangerous, because the most humble, demagoglsm. The friends of Mr. Thomas openly vaunt of his ability to furnish, not character and ex perience, but money. The peculiar qualifica tions of Mr. Thomas as a candidate are con fessed to be his willingness to furnish the sinews of war. This Is his strongest hold.' His availability Is his only recommendation. To begin with It Is expected that he will control the votes of the large number of his employees. With his greenback delusion he hopes to institute a working man's move ment, lint with all the adroitness and zeal with which the campaign has been Initiated by the Democrats, there aro Indications that the Republican majority will be largely in creased. The Cincinnati Enquirer has a reputation for being a staunch Democratic print, and the organ of Mr. Pendleton. The following expression of opinion concerning Frank Blair Is therefor particularly Interesting : "It was because a set of demagogues, to subserve their own ambitious purposes, made tne peopie oi tne iree states believe that African slavery In the Southern States was a great moral, social and political evil, and should not be allowed to extend Into new territory. That was about tho wbolo of it. It was tho negro, and ambitious damngogues riding on his back Into power. Rather than they should not do so tlte veonle allowed t)u. gramkst Government in th4world to be destroy- eu, una ciuh war to aesoiate me tana; ana frank 1 Blair wa one of those Veuuigogues." i ne met mat the above was written In 1801 makes uol a whit of difference.
